British Minister West, speaking to re-
porter last night, said that probably Sir
James Ferguson was wrongly reported in
the cablegram which represents him as hay-
Ing announced in the House of Commons
that the United States Government, pending
the action of the commission. had ordered
all seizures of vessels for violation of the
idea." said he, ''that what Sir James said
must have referred to the last seizures some
months ago. sand the subsequent release of
the vessels. He stated that as far as the
British government was concerned it was
only waiting for the Canadian government
to name its commissioner, and would be
ready for work on the 1st of November. The
minister's sttention was called to the cable
gram from London, stating that one object
OF the British commissioners would be to
secure free trade for natural products be-
tween the United States and Canada in re-
turn for the fishery privileges to be accorded
the Urited States. "Oh," said the minister.
that would be going back to the old reci-
procity treaty, which don't think Is proba-
bic. Certainly, the commissioners, so far as
L know, have no such set purpose. The
matter has never been mentioned to, or by
me, in connection with this subject. No
particular plan of procedure, no fixed pro-
gramme, has been arranged to guide or con-
troll the commissioners in their negotiations
The work of the commissioners will be in
the nature of a free conference. The sub.
ject of our negotiations will be the trouble in
connection with the Canadian fisheries No
doubt. in considering that subject, a great
many international topics and interests will
be discussed, but the ssingle problem before
the commission is, and will be, to settle this
Canadian fisheries trouble"
